May 9 Back to Montana



Off today. Finally able to sleep in…. until 830. I was hoping for at least 10. I always feel like I am behind on sleep up here, but I am consistently getting 7- 9 hrs a night. I think I wake up a lot and don’t remember it bc the walls here are paper thin and most of my neighbors seem to be oblivious to this at all hours. So today I told Johnny and Robbie about the drive Greg and I took, and I wanted to go again and they were into it, so we went to Fire Hole Canyon before they had to go to work. So much laughing with those 2. I mean laughing that hurts. Wheezing. So good. It was a great drive, good sunny weather again. Took them back for work, and I relaxed, went to dinner, and decided to go explore again. I hadn’t been west, and that road was open, so booyah. I drove out to West Yellowstone. I actually left the park bc I saw some gorgeous mountains in the distance and just kept following roads until I got close to them. I ended up in Montana next to a mostly frozen lake as the sun was starting to go down, picture above. I got out of the car and just stood there for a while (Lola running, not taking any chances out there). I think I drove by some celebrity homes. The homes I am referring to just didn’t seem to fit in with the few other homes I encountered along the way, by quite a large margin. Robert Redford? Just drove back with plenty of daylight left, for a nice quiet evening. Tomorrow Greg and I are gonna go for a hike in some seriously wooded areas. Enough cute shit bears, Im coming.

  1. Thought I'd help a bit on the bear hunt, since the odds of one joining you in the shower seems a bit slim!
    Look also along the Northeast Entrance Road. Notice how the views in these areas are open; there are fewer trees to block your views. Since you can see more, you are more likely to be successful in spotting a bear. Finally, you can try along the big, open mountainsides north of Dunraven Pass, on the road from Canyon to Tower. Both black and grizzly bears may turn up here.
